The Last Suspicious Holdout

The thirteen gripping tales in 'The Last Suspicious Holdout,' the new story collection by award-winning author Ladee Hubbard, deftly chronicle poignant moments in the lives of an African American community located in a 'sliver of southern suburbia.' Spanning from 1992 to 2007, the stories represent a period during which the Black middle-class expanded while stories of 'welfare Queens,' 'crack babies,' and 'super predators' abounded in the media.
